Broken Torison Springs

Broken Garage Door Springs

The large long springs above the top of your garage door when closed are called Torison springs. They are the muscle that lifts the door each time you press the door opener button. When one of these springs break half of the lifting force just vanished. When this happens your door opener will have a much harder time to open the door, or sometimes only lift it a few feet and then stops. If your door is only opening so far, look above it to see if one of your springs was a break in it as pictured to the left.

Why do torison springs break?

Garage door springs are made from metal just like a watch spring but only much larger and stronger. Although they are made for this purpose they fatigue and break over time from rust and use. Normally springs will last 10,000 cycles. A cycle is one opening and closing of the garage door. 10,000 cycles may seem like a lot but with normal use will only last about 5-6 years. Rust, lack of maintenancee, pool chemicals and excessive use can greatly reduce a spring’s service life.

Is replacing garage door torison springs a DIY job?

The answer is a NO! Torison springs have very large amounts of kinetic energy in them when wound. These springs are very dangerous and should never be touched by a untrained garage door professional. Do not attempt to adjust or replace these springs. It could save you a trip to the hospital.

Can I lift the door by hand?

Depends on the weight of the door. If one or more of the cables is off the door. How strong the lifting person/s are. If you are able to open the door by hand, make sure to pull the red cord that hangs down before you open the door by hand. This disengages the garage door opener for emergency use by hand. Once door is open secure it to stay open by locking the red cord back to the opener or use a pair of vise grips or other tool to make sure door stays open. and not fall back close.
